The Dunes Medal is an Open Amateur event played over 72 Holes on The Dunes Golf Links championship course. Rounds 1 and 2 are played on Tuesday and Wednesday followed by a cut with the Top 40 players plus ties playing the final two rounds on Thursday and Friday.
The 2011 event starts on Tuesday 29th November and will conclude on Friday 2nd December. Monday 28th November will be the Practice Day and rounds can be played before 12.00pm. To arrange a "practice" round please call the Golf Shop on 0359 851334.
The Dunes Medal has become a "must play" event on an already successful Australian amateur Calender in only a few short years since its inception in 1999. It is normally staged in Late November early December and the course is presented and "set up" in a manner consistent with a major professional tournament.
Jason Day, Marcus Fraser and Brett Rumford are just a few of the young superstars of Australian Golf that have competed in this Prestigious event, with the course record of 9 under 63 being set by Bryden Mc Pherson in the 2008 Dunes Medal.
It is a National Selection event for both Men and Women with representatives from all national state squads playing along with numerous International amateurs as well. It is also listed on the International Amateur Order of Merit with points contributing to International World Rankings.
